Much of the movie's strength comes from the script by Tracy Keenan Wynn (Keenan's son, Ed's grandson). Miss Jane is never merely a symbol or a stereotype. Whether responding shyly to the kindness of a Union soldier, umpiring a baseball game or teasing her earnest young interviewer, she emerges as a human being full of surprising quirks and depths. John Korty, a director whose feature films (Funnyman, riverrun) have lacked emotional fire, here employs his unobtrusive and objective camera to excellent effect. Violence is seen as a constant element rather than a shocking intrusion...

Neither side was willing to give in on these links. In Cairo, reported TIME Correspondent Wilton Wynn, Egyptians were openly impatient at the slow pace of negotiations.

He first met Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in 1953, when Sadat was editor-in-chief of the government-owned newspaper Al Gumhurriya...

...Many times since 1945," Wynn says, "I have seen the tension between the Egypt of heroism and great exploits- which existed under Nasser- and the Egypt that struggles for its daily existence.
